The next night, the assassin was in the house.

Thorn Shi Lianghu sat at the top of the hall, and on the right were Pei Shi and Pei Ying'er. The three brothers of the Ma family and Guan Yu Peng sat on both sides of the bottom, and the twenty-three warriors of the Ma family were lined up on both sides, each of them had various dishes on the table in front of them, and there were maidservants behind them to serve and pour wine, Ma Yue had never participated in such a grand banquet, and everyone was a little uncomfortable.

The so-called Zhumen wine and meat stink, the special era of the Three Kingdoms is like this, in Liangzhou, the bitter cold land of the rich and the poor gap is even more obvious, the Ma brothers hunt hard all year round to fight for their lives, in the winter there is no prey family interrupted the economic source of good luck and spare money to buy food, bad luck to cut down on food and clothing, not to mention to prepare cotton clothes for dozens of mouths.

Like the Ma family, in Liangzhou, there are at least three seasons a year, and there is meat in the occasional meal, which can afford more than a dozen horses and dozens of people, and it is already a large family that can barely get by in the northwest frontier, not to mention more lower-class people, there is no shortage of people who occasionally pick up wild fruits in the mountains and forests to satisfy hunger, and even starve to death on the roadside.

And this meal in the Thorn Shi Mansion is nearly a thousand dollars, although there is Liang Hu to Ma Yue for saving Pei's thanks, but it is too luxurious for the poor Ma family, Ma Yue hunted the leopard skin that was regarded as a rare treasure to be able to pay for this meal, and the thousand money in the Ma family was enough for more than 40 people and more than 20 livestock and half a month's expenditure.

The Han Dynasty was a heavy gift, but this Liangzhou border is not a place to talk about etiquette, the Ma family is all people in the mountains and wilderness, where have they had the experience of such a banquet, and everyone is feasting on the thorn Shi Liang Hu after making a feast.

"Thank you Ma Jia Saburo for saving Humble Jing, please fill this cup."

Liang Hu is a few years older than Ma Teng, and he is about to be confused. At this time, Liang Hu was raising a glass to Ma Yue to persuade him to drink, and after Liang Hu finished speaking, there was a maid who poured the wine glasses in front of everyone in turn.

Ma Yue immediately agreed, and the twenty-three warriors raised their heads and the liquor went into their throats. Everyone acted in unison and drank together to show the spirit of a man in the North, and they were all muscular and full of blood, Liang Hu couldn't help but be curious. The Ma family is known for its bravery, but it is only among the Qiang Hu in the market, and only his father Ma Su was the county lieutenant in Tianshui in the Liangzhou officialdom, but that was also an old account a few years ago, and there was no one else, and it was normal for Liang Hu and a literati not to know.

Actually, Liang Hu knew Ma Yue. Ye Wang, who was the Taishou of Yanmen the year before last, sent him a letter asking him to reuse this young man called Ma Yue, he felt that the people in the market were inferior after all, and he wanted to wait and see for a while before making plans, and then he forgot about this matter when he was busy with government affairs, and today he was very surprised to see that this young man was surrounded by martial artists who looked like heroes, and the old friend's vision was good.

"The boss doesn't have to care, it's all thanks to the guards of your mansion who are desperate to kill the enemy, I just hate that yesterday Yue was alone and had no Zhuang Ke to follow, and let go of more than ten bandits, otherwise they will be killed to sacrifice the heroic spirit."

What Ma Yue said was sincere, saving Pei's family was just an accident, and he was alone at the time with the intention of helping these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for protection. Otherwise, he would not have put himself in danger. The half-foot wound on his chest had scabbed, but it still ached.

The twenty-three warriors of the Ma family had more respect for Ma Yue, but Liang Hu flashed with puzzlement on his face when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "If it weren't for San Lang's courage and clumsiness, I would have been in danger, no matter what, I would like to thank San Lang and all the warriors for escorting him all the way." Then he smiled and said: "I don't know if San Lang can be interested in being an official, there is still a vacancy for the position of thief Cao in Longxian County, and he is in charge of thieves in the county, and San Lang will be promoted with bravery." ”

The thief Cao is a subordinate official in the county, the position is not high, but it is easy to catch the thief for meritorious promotion, Liang Hu's reward is also a great gift for the white-bodied Ma Yue, but unfortunately Ma Yuezhi is not here, so he said: "Lord Thorn Shi, the more now it is difficult to be in the year of the dancing elephant, but the two brothers are more brave than the more familiar with the military books, the year before the state chaos brother was defeated by the remnants of the army for ten days, and he will be able to share the worries of the adults." ”

"I don't know that the Ma brothers know about the war?"

"The ancestor used to be the general of Fubo, and now although the family is in the middle of the road, the classics of the war book have always been regarded as treasures, and for many years I know a little about the method of the ancestors' battle array."

"I don't want you to be behind the gate, so I will ask the county for the post of thief Cao, what ambition does San Lang have? Let's talk about it and let the old man hear it. ”

Liang Hu heard his wife talk about Ma Yue's bravery, and it was a rare brave man to kill several thieves, and Ma Jialang couldn't help but be surprised that he was still behind General Fubo. Now that bandits are rampant in Liangzhou, he has the heart to recruit the warriors of the Ma family to his side, not to mention that Ma Teng, who is behind the gate, also knows about the military affairs, which is a treasure for Liang Hu.

Assassin Shi confirmed that Ma Teng had won an official position, although he was only a subordinate official in the county, but with Ma Teng's ability and Liang Hu's help, he was able to sit in a higher position after a while, and Ma Teng Ma Yue was on the ground against Liang Hu at the moment.

"Lord Thorn Shi, foolishly think that the way of civil and military affairs is like a baby's legs are indispensable, my horse family since the ancestors to the present several generations of martial arts and not good at the way of articles, adults are the world's famous masters, the more willing to worship under the door of adults to learn the way of articles."

Ma Yue's words couldn't help but surprise everyone in the Ma family, even Liang Hu was also shocked.

Liang Hu is a calligrapher, I don't know how many people want to apprentice, but there is never a martial artist, but for Ma Yue he is very fond of it, not to mention that he is kind to him, just Ma Yue compares the way of civil and martial arts to a baby toddler with two legs makes his eyes shine, Ma Yue just said that Liang Hu heard the ambition of Honghu from it, but he didn't know enough about Ma Yue's character, so he smiled: "Since San Lang wants to take the way of civil and martial arts, I will accept you as a registered disciple. ”

Although he was only a famous disciple, Ma Yue was already satisfied, so he had a deeper and sustainable relationship with Liang Hu, and he could also have more help for the future of the Ma family, so he did not hesitate to kneel under the hall and perform the apprenticeship ceremony.

"Thank you, sir, for taking me as a beginner."

"Humble Jing once said that San Lang hunted for a living, there is a valley on the bank of the Lingshui River twenty miles north of the city, I want to build a horse farm in the second half of the year, and now the bandits are rampant in all counties need to be strictly guarded, so I will recruit you as a team is leading a team of county soldiers to guard the horse farm on the bank of the Lingshui River for the imperial court to guard the horse farm, although there is no money, but if there are thieves to make a mess to attack it, the capture belongs to you, how?"

Ma Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, and a common man turned into a military squadron, which could lead a hundred people to guard the horse farm, so that Ma Yue was in the arms, although Ma Yue was rough in riding skills but was not proficient, and guarding the horse farm naturally meant that there were countless high-quality horses to ride, so he naturally gladly agreed.

Liang Hu and Pei Shi chatted with Ma Yue about some homely topics, Liang Hu went back to the room to rest, and Ma Yue and the others went back to the post station to rest when they were full of wine and food, and they didn't say anything all night.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone set off to return to Zhangshan Village, all the way to gallop these northern men's hearty laughter spread far away, when they came, there was still no official and half-job, and when they went home, one became a thief in Longxian County, and one joined the Han army to become a small leader. This is a fortunate thing for the Ma family, not to mention that Ma Yue also worships under the Assassin History Sect, which is a great thing.
